During your vast wide adventures in The Minish Cap you’ll find small useful items called Bottles. These come in handy, as you can put things inside them to aid in your journey such as Fairies or Potions. The only hard thing is finding the Bottles. Well in The Minish Cap the Bottles are scattered across the land, but not to worry. We put together this small, little guide to help you find all the Bottles.
Bottle #1
Location: Trilby Highlands
Requirements: None
Right next to the Post Office in Hyrule, you’ll see a guard. If you haven’t learned the Spin Attack yet, you have to go Swiftblade and learn it. When you have learned the Spin Attack, talk to the guard and perform the Spin Attack. He will be amazed and let you go to the Trilby Highlands. When you exit Hyrule, walk a few steps left, then walk down, and you’ll see a ladder. Climb down the ladder and you’ll find yourself in a cave. Blow up the cracked wall to your right. There is a Deku Scrub inside this room, and he’ll spit deku nuts at you. Just dodge them with your shield and make sure the nuts hit him instead, and then you can buy a bottle from him for 20 rupees!
Bottle #2
Location: Lake Hylia
Requirements: Cane of Pacci
To get this bottle, you have to complete the Cave of Flames first. Then, in Hyrule Town, go to the inn and use your Cane of Pacci on the blue vase so you can jump on it and shrink down to Minish size. Before you do so, remember to move the bookshelf so the small stairs is revealed. Then shrink down to Minish size and walk up the small stairs and cross the wooden bridge outside and enter the item shop. Return to normal size and the shopkeeper will ask you to do a favour for him. He wants you to feed his dog over at Lake Hylia. The location will be marked on your map. Take the bottle of dog food, then go to Lake Hylia and find his house. Do you see the dog’s food bucket? Go to it, and fill it up with dog food. Now you have the second bottle!
Bottle #3
Location: Eastern Hills
Requirements: Kinstone Bag
Return to your house and talk to Master Smith. Then fuse kinstones with him, and a chest will appear by Eenie and Meenies garden in the Eastern Hills. Open the chest and the third bottle is yours!
Bottle #4
Location: Lon Lon Ranch
Requirements: Mole Mitts, Grip Ring, Roc’s Cape
Locate the Goron at the southwestern corner of Lon Lon Ranch. Use the wind vortices in the area to reach him. Fuse Kinstones with this Goron to trigger the Goron Merchant’s arrival in Hyrule Town. Find Eenie, the farmer in Eastern Hills. Fuse Kinstones with him to empower the Goron at Lon Lon Ranch, allowing him to start breaking the wall. To help the Goron break through all the barriers, you’ll need to recruit more Gorons by fusing Kinstones with Mysterious Walls found in specific caves: Near Eenie and Meenie’s farm, there’s a cave. Use the Mole Mitts to dig through and find the Mysterious Wall at the far end. Fuse Kinstones with it to summon another Goron.
At the top-left of Mt. Crenel, descend the ladder near the Crenel Hermit’s cave. Dig through the left cave using the Mole Mitts to locate the Mysterious Wall. Fuse Kinstones to summon another Goron. Southwest of Syrup’s Hut, find a cave. Dig through to discover the Mysterious Wall and perform the Kinstone fusion. Upon entering from Mt. Crenel, cross the first bridge to find a cave. Dig through to locate the Mysterious Wall and fuse Kinstones. In the northernmost part of Lake Hylia, use Roc’s Cape to jump between islands to reach a cave. Inside, dig through to find the final Mysterious Wall and fuse Kinstones. After all fusions, return to the Goron Cave in Lon Lon Ranch. The Gorons will have broken through the barriers. Inside, you’ll find a chest containing the fourth Empty Bottle.
